Fallout 3 Sweet Roll Reference

While walking around guards there is a chance they will say "Let me guess, someone stole your Sweet Roll?"

This may be a reference to the beginning of Fallout 3 where you have your birthday sweet roll stolen from you by Butch.

Notch/Minecraft Reference

At the throat of the world, if you climb to the very top of the mountain (even higher than the word wall at the peak) you will find a unique pickaxe named "Notched Pickaxe"

This could be a reference to the popular indie game "Minecraft" and its creator "Notch".

This is very likely considering the recent legal battle between Bethesda Softworks and Notch's Company: Mojang.

Quick Experience and Illusion Skill Gain

While most spells require you to actively use them in combat situations or on specific objects to progress, there is at least one spell that doesn't: Muffle. Muffle is an Illusion spell that quiets your movements. Continually casting Muffle while you're walking around the land will not only boost your Illusion skill, but will also increase your overall experience.

Max Out Sneak Skill

There's a couple ways of doing this and they're essentially the same.

1. Right after the "prologue" part of the game there's a mine called Embershard Mine and it's filled with bandits.  Dispatch the two in the first chamber of the mine and move on into a short tunnel.  Lower the bridge by pulling a nearby switch (explore along the tunnel on the far wall from the entrance).  Continue through the next few rooms until you come to an area with a bandit in a sort of pit, the pit has a forge in it so look for that if you're confused.  Destroy the bandit in the pit and you should attract the attention of the guard on the bridge, she'll start shooting arrows at you. Hide about half way down the bridge in the shadows and just keep walking into the wall (while sneaking of course).  You're skill will level as you go.

2. Make it to White Run and turn east.  Head toward the mountain until you find White River Watch, kill the two bandits outside and enter. The blind guy inside will ask if you're Ralph, just say yes, and proceed like before, walking into the wall in the shadows.

The important part about this is that these guys don't move or move very little so you can do it forever.  You can even rubber band your controller.

3.

NOTE: can only be done if you haven't tried to join the DarkBrotherhood yet.

Head over to Windhelm and find Aventus Aretino who should be in his house. Just search for "Arentino" on all of the doors in Windhelm. You'll eventually find it. Immidiately when you walk through the door, you should hear Aventus praying to the Night Mother. Keep walking through the house and you'll eventually see him in a room hitting the floor. He's facing the wall, so if you sneak into the corner his back is facing, he won't notice you. Rubber band your controller walking backwards into the corner and you'll have 100 sneak in a few hours. Aventus shouldn't notice you, but if he does, just walk out of the room and back in again.

Over-Encumbered Fast Travel

In Skyrim, it isn't possible to fast travel when you're over-encumbered. Why? The Fast Travel option is only available when your character can travel at normal speed or faster, which it doesn't when over-encumbered. But that one rule is the actual loop-hole in the system.

All you need to exploit it is 1000 Gold, enough to buy yourself a horse. The horse isn't affected by your encumbrance, so it moves at normal speed and faster, therefore you can Fast-Travel to any location, even after pillaging the entirety of a Dwemer ruin. And since you bought the horse, it will not run away, but stay put after you get off.
